Early mornings in Los Angeles carry a certain magic, but few places capture it quite like the Original Farmers Market at Third and Fairfax. Since 1934, this beloved landmark has served as a communal dining room where the scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the sound of sizzling grills. It is not just a tourist stop; it is a living, breathing neighborhood hub where locals gather to start their day with substance and style.
Navigating the bustling walkways of this historic market can be overwhelming, especially when your stomach is growling. With dozens of vendors offering everything from artisanal pastries to hearty international fare, choosing the perfect breakfast requires a bit of local knowledge. The beauty of this space lies in its variety—no matter if you crave a light bite, a sweet treat, or a protein-packed feast, there is a counter stool waiting for you.
This guide is designed to cut through the noise and lead you directly to the best morning meals the market has to offer. We have walked the cobblestones, chatted with the vendors, and tasted the signature dishes to bring you a curated list that prioritizes quality, flavor, and that unique market atmosphere. You will find options that have been perfected over decades, sitting right next to newer concepts that bring modern flair to breakfast classics.
Because the market is a collection of independent stalls rather than a single restaurant, the experience is uniquely democratic. You can grab a coffee from one spot, a pastry from another, and a savory plate from a third, all while sitting at one of the communal tables on the patio. This flexibility is why the market remains a favorite for groups who can never agree on a single cuisine.
When planning your visit, keep in mind that the market operates on its own relaxed rhythm. While some vendors open their doors at the crack of dawn, others fire up their stoves a bit later in the morning. Arriving around 9:00 AM usually ensures that the vast majority of stalls are open, the lines are manageable, and the produce is at its freshest.
Below is our definitive list of the best breakfast spots currently serving at the Original Farmers Market. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a seasoned regular looking to switch up your routine, these selections represent the pinnacle of morning dining in this historic corner of Los Angeles.

Good Quality food. Not overpriced , (2 eggs with toast i think said $9) 👍
I had the BLT with extras though and added eggs to it for a breakfast sandwich feel. Was great. Got an OJ also
Pleasured to find it was fresh squeezed 🥲
Food was made quickly even though they were very busy. Friendly staff
Thanks guys! Everything here was EXCELLENT

I ordered the French toast today. The service was slow, the staff was unfriendly, and the overall experience was disappointing.
The most delicious American breakfast in a long time. The woman who is cooking is so good. I admire her. Congratulations this place is very good
Employee working was extremely rude when I asked for a soda refill. Nowhere was it written or advertised that no refills are offered despite open soda fountain. The soda prices are also exorbitant ($5), which is why you would assume refills would be offered. Avoid this place for disrespectful employees!
This is a great spot for breakfast. They open at 9 a.m., so if you go early on a weekend, you get a leisurely start to your day, before the Farmers Market/Grove area gets too crowded.
The food is always great. Highly recommend the french toast (super moist and nicely custardy in the middle), hotcakes, and corned beef hash. The eggs are super tasty too. Everything’s never too greasy or dry. Prices are reasonable, by L.A. standards. And the service is consistently friendly. It’s open seating in the farmers market area; you order at their counter and pick up your food when your name is called.
Just be aware that if you park in The Grove garage, you have two hours free with validation at the Monsieur Marcel french market at the other end of the Farmers Market. One minute over and you pay a whopping $20 for parking, or more if you linger!

Quite an aesthetic and cozy diner with both indoor and outdoor seatings. The place is pretty huge and spacious, and the interior is well decorated and maintained as well. The place is quite clean and has good music. During busy hours it does get a bit loud. The prices were good, and the portions were quite generous as well, the chicken pot pie was freshly made and smoking hot. The chicken sandwiches were also amazing with huge portions. Overall, had a great time here. However, the service could be slightly improved. Outside it said wait to be seated but we stood in the sun for a while and no one came to us, and kept us waiting while the cashier was serving other customers, it felt a bit understaffed. Even during ordering or while eating there was no staff outside so we had to wait for someone to come out if we needed anything. But other than that. Definitely worth checking the place out, would recommend.
Being Bosch fans, this was a place we wanted to try for the famous pancakes. Everything said about them is true, the pancakes are fantastic and the portions are huge. We were glad we went for the short stacks as they are more than filling and absolutely delicious. The service was also great. We found it easy to park as it was still early in the day and we were able to get our parking validated when we paid the check.
Since these are called the best pancakes in the USA I had to try. Didn’t disappoint at all. Berry infused with more on top … 3 cakes was more than plenty! Friendly service too.
The milkshakes were to low light. Very thin and not much for the high prices charged here.
Overall, it’s not cheap to eat here but these cakes are good to try once in life. YOLO
We took our daughter here for breakfast for the first time and she enjoyed it. It had been years since my wife and I had been, but we remember how good the pancakes were. My daughter had the kids plate with a pancake, scrambled eggs, and sausage. My wife had the smoked salmon plate ($23.95) and I had the two egg platter with bacon, hash browns, and sourdough toast ($25.95). Everything was flavorful. The portion sizes are huge. However, it was nearly $100 for breakfast. If you’re ok with that price for breakfast it’s worth checking out if you’ve never been.
Absolutely the best pancakes I've had for ages! We visited here after missing the chance to do so on our previous trips to LA, and being huge Bosch fans, this was on our to-do list! We knew there would most likely be a wait on a Sunday morning, but we were lucky to snag a parking spot right outside and then waited in line for about 15/20 mins (which wasn't bad on a lovely sunny day).
We chose to sit outside and were served quickly, and the servers were efficient. The drinks were lovely and the portion size was huge (I had a short stack, but it was like a whole cake!) Couldn't fault anything, and will definitely be back another time!!

We were looking for a dessert place and thought of trying this one out. The place kind of tucked in. The crepe is quite pricy, but it is by the Grove. It was served fresh on a plate. They have a bar seating type. We may come back or try other desserts in the area.
This creperie is super cozy, even though it's a bit hidden because of construction. But it's open and they're really welcoming! Prices are low, and the vibe is cool. I really liked the savory crepe, it was interesting and tasty. The sweet one I got wasn't amazing, but it was still fine. They also have tea and coffee.
They are friendly and make great food. I had the grilled cheese and the onion soup 🧅 and a crepe. Outdoor seating in the market it’s a nice shop and they are fast too didn’t wait long for our food.
We were there weekday 11am and there were no lines and ample seating. It took about 10 minutes to get our food, and we enjoyed a walking around with our buzzer in hand. We got the Nordique (smoked salmon), Popeye (spinach goat cheese), and chicken wrap (came with a small side salad) savory buckwheat crepes, and the banana/strawberry/Nutella sweet crepe, all of which were delicious. A bit pricy but the portions were pretty filling shared between 3 adults and 1 child. Recommended and plan to come back again. They validate Farmer’s Market parking for up to 90 minutes.
Excellent crepes, both sweet and savory. A savory crepe has lots of choices of filling.
The French Crepe Company is located in the Farmers Market at 3rd and Fairfax. So it's outdoor dining but protected from the wind. An excellent quality during an upsurge in the pandemic.
This place was closed when I first arrived in Los Angeles a little over a month ago, but it's open now. They seem to have changed their business plan a bit. The savory crepes no longer come with a salad. Otherwise the crepes are still delicious.
I highly recommend the French Crepe Company.
A side note: Google just sent me an email that I have 107 followers. I'm not sure why anyone would want to follow a Local Guide, but thanks for following me, I guess. If you'd be so kind as to mark those of my reviews that you think are helpful as helpful at the bottom of the review, that would be nice. I'm not sure what it would do, if anything, but Google keeps track of the number of people who think my reviews are helpful, and if I see the numbers go up after I post this review, it'll tell me that some of my followers read my reviews to the end.

Took a chance with this place, not sure that it was the right choice, the service was rushed. I was asked if I want anything inside I said like in the menu, I got dry corned beef bread only with mustard even though it said it’s include Add Lettuce and Tomatoes, Dress with Mustard, Mayonnaise, 1000 Island and Horseradish. Had to ask Mayonnaise to be able to make it softer. The cook was using only 1 glove and was touching the food also with the bare hand as well, the plate was dirty and I was struggling to finish my dish as I was really hungry and I don’t feel good with throwing food. Only good thing is the atmosphere to sit a bit in the market and chill.

I try to hit a new place when I come to the farmers market. Checked put the menu and was undecided between the pastrami reuben and the reubon dog. Saw the plate of the couple next to me and got the pastrami reuben. Was not disappointed. The amount of meat on the sandwich was surprising, I didn't expect so much. It came with choice of fries, Cole slaw or potato salad. I got fries. Couldn't finish it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My plate arrived within minutes of placing more order.
Ah! Pretty good place! Great service! Great food! Pretty quick! I mean what else can I say? The hot dog buns were toasted just right, and the french fries were salted just right, and thinly cut, nice and crispy!
Phil's Deli and Grill surely knows how to cook!
Strongly recommend their Pastrami Special, remember, go for the Special edition, which replaces sauerkraut by using coleslaw instead, and it worked so well that you get the richness from the pastrami, and the lightness from the coleslaw. And the chemistry works so well that you'll not stop having the next bite of it. 😋
The original pastrami is the way to go. Im sure other items are just as great but this place is known for this sandwich. Crowds are hit or miss depending on the day and time.

Bob’s Coffee & Doughnuts is a fun stop if you’re visiting the Original Farmers Market. The whole setup has a classic, old-school LA feel that fits the market perfectly. I liked sitting in the shared seating area with a coffee and doughnut while watching the crowd and taking in the atmosphere.
The doughnuts were fresh, simple, and satisfying. They’re more traditional than the oversized, heavily decorated doughnuts you see at newer shops, which I actually appreciated. The coffee was pretty basic, but it worked well with the doughnut and matched the casual market experience.
It can get busy, and I probably wouldn’t make a separate trip just for the coffee, but the location, history, and nostalgic atmosphere make it worth visiting when you’re already at the Farmers Market or The Grove.
Four stars overall. A classic LA stop with good doughnuts and plenty of character.
It’s actually nothing special and yet, it is. This place is -over all the years- consistently busy and especially early in the morning I see many locals enjoying their sweetness and coffee while chatting. We need places like this Thát are not overpriced, where customers feel they get good quality and a smile without having the feeling they’re breaking the bank. Great selection of donuts, coffee is absolutely fine. It may not be a gourmet drink, but it’s a good cuppa Joe.
Popped here when vising the Farmer's Market to buy a coffee and a doughnut. The apple fritter was probably the best doughnut I have ever tasted. Staff were also super friendly and helped me choose.
The lady who took my order was so sweet and patient, which made for a great experience from the start. The beignet had the perfect balance of sweetness without being overwhelming, and the texture was spot on. The chocolate donuts were absolutely delicious as well—fresh, flavorful, and a great treat. I'll definitely be back to try more items!
WOW, the donuts at Bob’s Coffee and Donuts are amazing! We brought some friends from out of town to the grove farmers market and stumbled upon this biggest donut I have ever seen in my life, The Texas haha. It was funny sharing the donut, it felt like everyone walking by was staring at us, and some people stopped to ask where we got it from lol. Definitely a fun experience to check out!
Nonna's Empanadas - Original Farmers Market

After our last experience trying to order food somewhere else, Nonna’s Empanadas completely saved the day.
My girlfriend and I ordered the beef empanada with ground beef, red peppers, olives, egg, and onion, and saying it was fantastic is honestly an understatement. It had that perfect “wow, this is actually really good” reaction from both of us.
The flavor was excellent, the filling was rich and balanced, and one empanada is the perfect amount to curb your appetite. Two would definitely be a full meal.
My girlfriend and I both agreed it was absolutely fantastic. Simple, delicious, and memorable. Huge wow factor. We’ll definitely be back.
Never misses. I like the pepperoni, carne asada, cheese burger, philly cheese steak, and beef. It's a stand in the Farmers Market so there is typically a line and area is busy.
It’s a food stall in the farmer’s market area of The Grove. I saw lots of people lining up so I knew that I had to try it. They have lots of savory and sweet types of empanada. I decided to buy beef empanada to try. The warm empanada was good. The pastry was flaky and the filling was flavorful. The star was the chimichury (it was delicious!) and great complement to the empanada.
The overall set up of the farmers market is nice and full of culture. However, Nonna’s does not have much of a seating area. This is not Nonna’s issue but rather the location within the market where the business is. In regard to the food itself, the empanadas are nice and full; jam packed and full of flavor. The style of food is extremely simple and they offer savory sauces or oils to add to your empanadas. The price for the amount of food you get is not bad, as you feel full afterwards and not as if you wasted your money to not be full. One spent $15 on two empanadas and a beverage with one sauce included, after taxes. That is honestly a decent price for a quick meal or sweet empanada dessert.
I really appreciate the wide variety of options they offer. Personally, I find the sweet flavors better than the savory ones. I tried the jalapeno beef and chicken, which were a bit too salty for my taste and the filling felt slightly dry. On the other hand, the guava cheese was excellent and truly impressive.

Ah shucks. I've been coming to The Griddle for over a decade. It's been a go to with my out of town guests. In the past, it's always been wonderful for not only amazing food, but fun to people watch. This visit was just not great at all.
We sat outside. Now, I can't blame The Griddle for the vagrants that inhabit parts of our lovely town, but having someone stumble by, grab sugar from the neighboring table, then the hot sauce off the next table as they reel away is disconcerting. The proprietor did come shoo him off and reclaimed the hot sauce. Rather than reassure me, I became concerned that perhaps others who may not have observed proper hand hygiene had touched the maple syrup on my table.
I ordered the $15 French Press Coffee. I love coffee. I have imbibed bad coffee over the years (between hospitals and airports, I know about rewarmed mud). I expect French Press coffee at that price to warm my soul. I don't know if the press wasn't properly cleaned, or the beans were old, or not ground well... but the coffee tasted stale. It made me sad.
My "Mom's French Toast" was fine. Not the extraordinarily delicious experience I recall from past trips, but nothing to complain about. Maybe it would have been better if I had been willing to touch the maple syrup? But butter and whipped cream go a long way to keeping me happy.
My guest, however, had pancakes that were doughy. He commented that beyond the very edge, they were not cooked. Our lovely smiling waitress offered to put them back on the griddle... but they were already adorned with whipped cream. Of course, the pancakes were huge enough that eating the edges provided adequate intake, but what a disappointment.
Rather than leaving feeling as if I had spoiled an out of towner, it was just a sad breakfast. Alas.
I was a little skeptical when coming because the place was empty, but I was thoroughly surprised with just how good the food was. Interior gives more of a diner feel for sure! Our server was attentive and gave us a heads up on just how big the pancakes were, and yet I was still shocked seeing the size of them. I ordered the breakfast tacos and the Golden Ticket pancakes. The breakfast tacos were stuffed and had a great flavor to them, but be warned they are messy. The Golden Ticket pancakes were incredible, I wish I had a bigger appetite truly because I kept eating them well after I knew I was full. On the pricier side for breakfast, but the portions make up for it. Highly recommend, definitely a memorable breakfast and they have a ton of different pancake flavors.
The infamous Griddle Café is an absolute must when you are in the area. The pancakes are larger than the plate and are delicious. The menu has a variety of breakfast options and there are a number of different pancake options as well. All great choices, some tough decisions to make. The coffee comes in a French press and is super fresh! They also have morning cocktails. The staff is super friendly and attentive. We love trying new things when we visit. You may have to wait in a line outside but we’ve never had to wait because we’ve gone on vacation during the week when people are working or are in school. Can’t wait to go back!
Kind of mediocre food with disappointing service.
Most of the food we tried was alright, quite fatty and lacked flavour.
Just minutes after being brought our food, we also got hit with the check. We weren’t asked and couldn’t order anymore.
My wife wanted to get some normal toast for the maple syrup: asked for regular toast, waiter said “what do you mean by toast”.. “just some regular toast for maple syrup”. And we got.. toast with butter and peppers?? Super hard to communicate with the waiters.
And because of that and the check brought, the waiter was confused why we still wanted to order after he brought us the check and that now “it will have to be free since he brought us the check”. Terrible service!
We came here on a Saturday morning and had a great experience. We walked in and was seated right away. The waitress was friendly too.
The restaurant is small, cute and very lively. There is a breakfast bar as well as plenty of tables. One thing I wish is that they stayed with classic menus, it'd be easier to look at all of the options as the qr code layout was a bit much.
We ordered the buttermilk pancakes and the Mom's French toast, so tried the classic flavors, and they were great. There are a LOT of flavor choices here! The pancakes are HUGE. When you order coffee you get a whole French press on your table so it's nice strong coffee!
We had a great experience and it was delicious!

Horrible experience and willing to serve you BAD coffee. Save your time and money, go to % arabica just by Nordstrom, bobs for a classic brewed coffee directly across from this establishment, or coffee bean right outside the market by H&M. Been coming here for a while, decided to try the cafe de olla and switch up my order. I ordered it iced… and with almond milk… I guess that is NOT what you’re supposed to do as it’s watered down entirely and tastes actually like the worst thing you’ve ever had in your life. The person taking my order gave me no sign that this was a bad order. She hands me my coffee and makes me put the almond milk in.. coffee already looks suspicious and with the almond milk in it looks like dirty water. I take a sip and decide this is the grossest coffee I’ve ever had… $8 mind you. I move away from the line and go to the side and ask about the coffee I ordered and for some assistance and she was like “oh yeah that’s a bad coffee order” and does nothing and looks at me like “oh well”. I’ve ordered from here so many times it’s insane that they were not willing to fix the coffee or help in anyway and just give me a regular iced coffee. I have made effort for years to come here over a typical LA chain and especially here at the farmers market…Never going back again.
I work in customer service, and can understand when someone is having a bad day. The experience I received was dismissive, and extremely rude. The employees treated me as if I was a burden. It was
6pm, and noticed that the shop wasn’t busy; unfortunately, I walked in middle of their VERY important gossip, and ordered a simple latte. I was treated as an idiot and explain what a latte was. I clarified the only “customization” I wanted was iced which I did see that it’s on the menu. I was patient, and pretended her attitude didn’t exist. Truly, if you sincerely don’t like your job just get a new one. Luckily, the coffee was good, so it didn’t feel like a complete waste of money. At least I know what an Iced Latte is now!
coffee Corner is right across the sub-dining area to Phil's, a coffee shop since 1946.
Like their services so much, every employee would talk to you with smiley face, and automatically skip tip to free you from letting you feel struggled.
I got the peach lemonade, and it was good, but it didn’t taste any different from regular lemonade
Apparently the frozen original lemonade is good though
Only filled me drink quarter way, then all foam. I was shocked & asked them to adjust, cashier(a 4’11 woman in her 50s) rudely threw slurs in Spanish & said I’d see the drink when all the foam settles. Gross experience

First time here and the spot is small but the atmosphere is amazing! I had the fresh toast so delicious and perfectly cooked! Price is decent, you just have to order and pay before you sit down, which i understand for the area. Will be coming back!
Knowing LA Prime first from Sawtelle and I remember I was quite impressed by the acai bowl that came with pretty generous portion. So knowing they’re also here in West Adams with a plus point that sit down space was provided, so obviously I was giving it a go.
They did have shared free parking lot with some other tenants within the complex, giving it another bonus point. Price was pretty affordable for the portion.
I got their Dolce Latte and I was pleased that temperature was pretty hot just like how I fancied my hot coffee. Typically I was disappointed by the lukewarm one that I mostly had to request my drink being extra hot. This one served it just right despite I forgot to mention it when ordering. The coffee was sweetened with condensed milk and I thought it’s a decent cup for being at $6ish.
The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was very welcoming and relaxing. Everything was excellent from start to finish.
Nice small spot to have breakfast! Great vibes and the staff are super friendly.
I had the waffle with scrambled eggs and bacon. The coffee was great as well. I recommend!
Also, I forgot my purse at the table I was sitting that. The staff came running out to our car with my purse. I’m so grateful they did that! 🙏🏽 It showed me that they care for their customers.
From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this restaurant operates at an exceptional level. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between elegance and warmth, creating an inviting yet refined dining experience.
The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely thoughtful throughout the evening. Every detail felt intentional.
The food was simply outstanding. Each dish was beautifully presented and layered with flavor. The standout for me was the [dish], which was cooked to perfection and showcased both creativity and technical precision.
What truly sets this place apart is the consistency across every aspect—service, atmosphere, and cuisine all working in harmony.
This is more than just a meal; it’s an experience. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for something special.
If you give me your specifics, I’ll turn it into a killer review that sounds like it came from a food critic. It was great l loved the drawing on the drinks and I ordered the extreme waffle and my dad also ordered the same thing and it was great 👍

It’s a family owned business and you feel the love and intention behind every detail. Our wonderful waitress was so kind to us from the moment we entered the store. She served me one of the best Arnold Palmer’s with with mint I’ve ever had. There were fresh flowers on every table, and there were several groups in the restaurant. The food came fast and we got five dollar cake slices to go home with which were delicious. I would definitely give this a shot if you’re in the neighborhood.:)))
This is a great cafe to have breakfast. The service is phenomenal and the staff is friendly. I enjoyed the decor and the plants everywhere. While I ate, I was serenaded by the sounds of soothing music and pianists playing. The food was decent. I ordered the Meat Me @ Fleur Omelette with a side of garlic fries and toast. This place is a great way to start your day!
Nice quiet cute roomy place. I loved their food. I got huevos rancheros. They were delicious. I wanna go back.
A lot of plants makes this place very pleasant.
Honestly for me, this was PEAK SCRAMBLED EGGS..!
And they're a rare breed of restaurant these days...
100% Sysco FREE!!!
Absolutely delicious!

I tried Eggslut for the first time and overall had a good experience. The Fairfax was flavorful and tasty, although it felt a little too rich for me after a few bites. The sandwich, however, was really good — soft bread, well-cooked eggs, and everything worked nicely together.
It’s definitely worth trying at least once, especially if you’re a fan of egg sandwiches. Simple, filling, and full of flavor. I’d probably go for the sandwich again next time!
Go to the far end of the counter to order as pickup is on the end closest to 4th Street. They have photos and menus on that end. This is in a food hall with various restaurants so you can eat outside or there is some seating further into the food hall. Lots of different types of food.
I got the Fairfax and hash browns, which were excellent!
Wow, creamy and soft, almost better than a beef burger. It was my first time at Eggslut, and definitely not my last. We were here twice because we liked it so much in the food court in the heart of downtown. The churros are also not to be sneezed at. Something like this for breakfast gets your day off to a good start. Security guards are on site and the staff work quickly. Unfortunately, they didn't accept cash during our visit, but that's slowly becoming the norm everywhere. It doesn't change the great experience there. You have to look for parking spaces as there aren't any. Cars are sometimes parked directly in front of the store, but it's a no-stopping zone.
I visited Eggslut in Los Angeles, and it was one of the best breakfast spots I tried. The sandwiches were made with soft bread, fresh eggs, and flavorful ingredients. I especially liked how creamy and rich the eggs tasted. Even though there was a line, the food was worth the wait. It was a delicious and memorable experience.
Solid brunch spot. High in calories. Service was friendly and fast despite being busy Grand Central LA. Ambiance is crowded with many other restaurants nearby. Recommend this place for a high calorie brunch. The Fairfax was filling and delicious. One order filled me up quickly.
Fairfax: 4.5/5

What a nice, serendipitous experience. I typed “sandwich” into the Google Maps search bar as I was leaving K-Town, and it routed me to one of my new favorite sandwiches in town.
A gem tucked away on Wilshire, Open Market’s creative expression and curation of cute nostalgia and gadgets had me hooked before even taking a bite.
It was my lucky day, getting the last Beverly they had. With a flavorfully fried exterior, juicy chicken to complement underneath, and a mayo x shredded lettuce top layer between two buttery milk buns, everything is to love.
See you again soon, Open Market.
Holy moly I don’t need a hook for my review; this place lives up to the hype. After my first bite of the Normandie, all I could do was eat more of it.
The sandwich was perfectly hot (very important for my Asian standards lol), perfectly juicy on its own but even more with the au jus, and so flavorful and cheesy. I used to be a sandwich hater and I genuinely think this could solve my parents’ main gripes with sandwiches being hard or dry, plus the meat isn’t cold deli meat.
The drinks are also well-crafted. I got an americano with their original cream top. The coffee was smooth and the cream top wasn’t too sweet, with flavors reminiscent of the buttercream found in Swiss roll cakes.
Interior is very littlefatboyfrankie coded — very thoughtful design that bridges tradition with innovation.
My only two gripes: Can you guys PLEASE turn down the AC?? And maybe make the WiFi a little better?? I can’t tell if it’s a tactic to get us to not study there but your college student audience loves you 😭
It is also a little expensive for the portion but also I was full on half a sandwich so I guess that’s not really a complaint if it lasts me two meals. Also there’s validated underground parking because parking in that area is a nightmare.
I ordered the Beverly and the Normandie.
The Beverly was a burger, with crispy fried chicken and kewpie mayo sauce.
The Normandie sandwich had fresh brisket and cheese.
The flavor was good, but the baguette bread made it feel a bit hard.
Americano was rich and had no acidity, so it suited my taste well.
The vibe was lively, and they also sell various items like wine and goods, so it is a place worth visiting.
Very nice spot, with convenient location strategically right next to the parking bureau balancing their negativity...we discovered this place thanks to their long waiting times and that is actually very positive! The breakfast sandwich, potatoes, hochicha latte sweetened with honey and with almond milk, as well as the Normandie sandwich were so tasty! Legit quality and great staff.
We ordered the Kenmore and the Wilshire sandwiches. They were large portions and delicious and made fresh! The smashed potatoes with sour cream were amazing!
Tips for the Best Breakfast Experience
To truly maximize your visit to the Original Farmers Market, a little strategy goes a long way. While the market is famously welcoming, understanding the flow of the space, the parking situation, and the timing of your visit can mean the difference between a chaotic scramble and a leisurely, satisfying morning. Here are a few insider tips to help you navigate the market like a seasoned regular rather than a first-time tourist.
First, always validate your parking. The market offers dedicated parking lots, and with a purchase from any of the merchants, you can usually get validation that significantly reduces the cost of your stay. Look for the validation machines near the main entrances or simply ask the cashier at the stall where you order your food. Second, do not be afraid to split up and conquer. If you are visiting with a group, assign different people to different stalls to minimize wait times. One person can secure a table on the patio while another grabs coffee and a third waits for the hot food. Third, bring cash. While most vendors now accept credit cards, a few of the older, family-run stalls still prefer cash transactions, and having a few bills on hand ensures you never miss out on a classic dish. Fourth, consider a weekday visit if you can. Weekends at the market are vibrant and energetic, but they are also crowded. A Tuesday or Wednesday morning offers the same great food with a much calmer, more relaxed atmosphere. Finally, save room for a stroll. The market is home to specialty grocers, butchers, and candy shops that are a feast for the eyes even if you are full.
The Original Farmers Market is more than just a place to eat; it is a testament to the enduring power of community and good food. As you sit among the locals reading the morning paper and the tourists snapping photos, you become part of a story that has been unfolding for nearly a century. Every cup of coffee and every plate of eggs represents a small moment of connection to the city’s rich culinary history.
So, whether you find yourself drawn to the sweet aroma of fresh pastries or the savory pull of a classic diner breakfast, trust your instincts and explore. The perfect morning meal is waiting for you under the iconic clock tower, just waiting to be discovered.
